Flying a Kite

One day my son decided to create his own kite. He tied a string to a plastic bag then closed the string in the window so it wouldn't fly away. He will stay outside for hours on a breezy day watching his kite fly. He is learning about drag, lift, gravity and wind while having a great time playing outside.

Both of my boys have done this at various times, and had the greatest time with it. They have also done the same thing but with warm air, how it rises etc. As well as attaching it to their bikes and experimenting with drag. All that entertainment in just one little bag!:-)

psCould you please e-mail me your mailing address (again). Jonas has some things for Gemma but I have been unable to locate the folder (which I know is around here SOMEWHERE) which has your mailing address in it. Thanks!!:-)

About Me

I am an American mother of three who spent six years living in Germany. Education has always been a primary focus for me. This blog is packed with fun educational activities for kids. Speed! is a skip-counting game I created in 2011 to help kids learn multiplication. In June 2012 my younger daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia, so that topic has quickly taken over a portion of this blog. You can reach me at
